At Liverpool Legal we are clear and transparent in our dealings with our clients from the outset. We do not have gimmicks or hidden costs.
We will discuss all funding options with you at the outset of your case to advise you about the most appropriate funding arrangement for your matter to give you a level of cost certainty and flexibility.
Depending on your issue we may offer you the following funding options:
Legal Expense Insurance
We will investigate the possibility of funding your case through a legal expense insurance policy. Those policies may pay for some or all of the legal costs and disbursements up to a certain limit. The policies are usually found on your building, contents, car or other insurance policy. If you bring policies of insurance to us we can advise you about whether they may cover your case.
Your insurers may try to allocate a firm to you from their own panel solicitors. A recent decision from the European Court of Justice makes it clear that you can instruct a solicitor of your own choice from the start of your claim. We are happy to liaise with your insurer about your case if you have that funding available to you.
Privately Funded Matters
We are happy to discuss fixed fee or an agreed hourly rate to give you a level of cost certainty and flexibility.
We will discuss all options with you at the outset of your matter to agree the most appropriate for you.
Fixed Fee
On some matters we have fixed fee options available. The firm will assess your situation and provide you with a fixed fee to assist with your case. This arrangement gives you a level of cost certainty. In some circumstances we are able to do this in stages of your case giving you more flexibility.

The firm will assess your case and provide a fully flexible option on an hour by hour basis. You will be given information about the likely overall cost of your matter and you will be updated as to these costs as the matter progresses.
